I got some of the JB Smith brass When I bought the worlds uglyist varmiter. Both Griffen & Howe and J.B. Smith had headstamped R2 brass made up. The Smith is the raerer of the two. I sold them off at a dollar a piece 20 years ago.

40_rod, Thank you for the reply.I have a 2 boxes of Winchester 219 Zipper.When I look at the brown paper boxes they are the same style. I would tend to believe that Win. did produce them( as suggested by r3727) or they bought their boxes at the same place(lol).

Hi, Thanks to everyone that has responded. I can't seem to get the PM to work for me on this end. I have a number of cartridge boxes from all fields(22,shotgun,etc) that I want to sell. My intentions are to research and sell them as a single lot to a cartrige dealer.There is a very good antique show in Baltimore, Maryland in March. The shotshells seem to be a bit more difficult to find out about. Some people said I would do better selling the collection seperatly,but I don't know if I want the hassle.Certainly will post them here if that is the route I go. This site offers a treasure of info to read, even though I have little knowledge to offer. Thanks to All

If you don't score those cases go on over to Saubier.com and post in the reloading and classified sections. last year I came up with an additional 100 or so G&H 22-3000 cases for a Dubeil R2 highwall I have and I believe you can probably come up with something even if it's reformed 25-20 cases which work just fine. Whatever you get just rmember to anneal them before forming them up as it will eliminate loss for you.
